Hello Snowkiters,
This is exactly what I've been dreaming about for years!
I am a newbie and just moved to Stevenson. I would love to meet some local kiters and re-learn the basics of flying my 12m kite on snow. I took some lessons a few years back and have some experience flying on land, but I need practice. I am a fairly good snowboarder and I have all the gear. If anyone is willing to take me along and show me some local snow kite spots and share some knowledge/experiences with me, please let me know! The beer afterwards will be on me.
Thanks and a Windy New Year!

here's a gps record of us getting close to POA a couple seasons back when we actually hit zero viz and turned around but you can get an idea of the access route.

Fri Jan 13, 17 6:44 am Best snowkiting on the planet |
|
|
We just got back from a 7 day snowkite trip to the NW. Pretty much anywhere east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington currently has some of the best snowkiting snow, wind, and most importantly: terrain.
The Inflictor has been on a quest for the best wind, snow, and waves for over 45 years. Victor for President!
